Chapter 116: President's Daughter Emily
The approaching figure was dressed in a silver gown much like Cheyenne's.
However, Cheyenne's dress was long with a high slit, while Emily's silver gown exuded even more elegance and luxury.
Golden threads adorned the hem of her dress, forming intricate, lifelike peony patterns.
The woman appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, with fair skin reminiscent of pear blossoms. Her eyes, clear as a spring, held a hint of a smile, and her petite face featured delicate and radiant features.
She was as stunning as the flowers on her dress, leaving a breathtaking impression on everyone.
It was no wonder that she was admired by many people in the country; her beauty was beyond compare.
But there was also a dangerous man standing beside her who lit up a cigarette in his hand. The faint smoke covered his face, making it blurry but his deep and sharp eyes made Cheyenne feel uneasy, causing her to clench her fists tightly.
He gazed down at her with handsome features that could rival any top idol star today. He wore a black coat which enveloped him entirely giving off an ominous aura.
Cheyenne thought he looked dangerous while Omari's smile faded away upon seeing him.
The man walked over to them and patted Omari's shoulder with his large hand while speaking in a cold yet magnetic voice, "Brother, it has been too long."
This... this must be Hayden Lara - Omari's older brother who is also Emily's fiance? Just like what they say about him - cold and unfathomable.
His demeanor differed from Kelvin's; Kelvin resembled snow atop mountains - pure and pristine but Hayden carried an air of deathly chilliness around him making him appear extremely dangerous.
While Hayden spoke to Omari, he noticed Iker sitting next to Cheyenne out of the corner of his eye – after all, they are rivals for Emily's affection since Iker was Emily's ex-fiance. It was a pity that the once mighty general had turned into a cripple.
And when Hayden saw Cheyenne behind Iker, a fleeting look of amazement crossed his gaze, a detail not missed by Omari.
'Uh-oh. Is Hayden interested in Cheyenne?'
Omari knew Hayden's mind better than anyone; he had been domineering from childhood. If he set his sights on something, he would stop at nothing to claim it.
From childhood to adulthood, Omari have lost count of how many things have been taken away from Hayden.
He vividly remembered when he was in junior high school, he had his first crush on a female classmate who had fair skin and big eyes.
Later, when Hayden found out, he ended up with the girl chasing after Omari.
If they were in love, that would be one thing, but after Hayden had obtained her, he had the audacity to gouge out her eyes, turning them into specimens and sending them to Omari.
Since then, Omari had never dared to like anyone again.
It was not until he met Cheyenne that he recovered from it and decided to boldly pursue love.
He can't imagine how tragic Cheyenne's fate would be if Hayden were to take a liking to her.
"Hayden, let me introduce you. This is the Todd family's young master, Iker."
As soon as the words fell, Hayden's lips parted and he chuckled softly. "I know, Emily mentioned him to me," he said.
When he pronounced the word "Emily", there was a hint of indulgence in his tone.
This made Emily feel a sense of triumph in her heart. She delicately approached Hayden and linked her slender arm with his.
"Hayden, please don't argue with Iker. What happened between him and me is all in the past." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Emily was afraid that the two of them would fight because of her. As she spoke, she looked at Cheyenne behind Iker from the corner of her eyes.
There was pride, warning, and a hint of disdain in them.
Especially when Emily saw Cheyenne wearing the same silver dress as herself, she intentionally took a look and noticed that Cheyenne's dress was not as expensive as hers.
"Don't worry, dear. Although I haven't met Master Iker before, his reputation precedes him."
Reputation?
That was all three years ago.
But now, Iker had become a cripple who couldn't even walk. The word "reputation" was nothing more than a sarcastic dig at his current useless state.
Cheyenne listened to the words, feeling an unusual harshness.
The so-called "President's daughter" was nothing more than an Angelic bitch dressed in her finery.
At the thought, Cheyenne chuckled.
This chuckle attracted the attention of people around.
Hayden also looked over curiously and asked, "Who is this young lady?"
"She is my companion!"
Iker stepped in front of Omari, his voice chilling as he reached out to subtly push Cheyenne behind him. This protective gesture surprised Hayden, who then withdrew his gaze.
He let out a half-smile. "Congratulations, Master Iker. Who would have thought you haven't been idle for the past three years? You've even managed to win over a beauty."
Cheyenne felt embarrassed and was about to explain when suddenly, a large hand grabbed hers.
Iker shook his head, signaling her not to speak.
Why? Cheyenne looked puzzled and glanced at Omari for an explanation.
But Omari also shook his head without saying anything. These two had reached some kind of agreement on this matter, which was rare.
Since it was all just acting anyway, Cheyenne smiled and took the initiative to grab Iker's shoulder with her hand. She smiled brightly at the two men in front of her. "I'm just lucky enough to have caught Master Iker's attention. From now on, I'll take good care of him and make sure he doesn't get into any more danger."
Her words were etched in Iker's mind.
He knew she was only acting but still couldn't help feeling moved by what she said. "Make sure he doesn't get into any more danger."
It had always been him who stood in front of others to shield them; countless times he had almost died trying to protect others from harm while Cheyenne claimed that she would take care of him.
As their eyes met each other's gaze, he saw nothing but sincerity in hers - she wasn't just saying those words lightly like most people would do under such circumstances.
'Treating Master Iker's injuries is part of my responsibility - that much is true. As for everything else... well... it's all part of helping Master Iker deal with his ex-girlfriend.'
'Isn't that how things play out in idol dramas? When you meet your ex-boyfriend again after breaking up with him, you find someone better looking than him or someone who has better qualities than he does so that it makes them feel jealous or regretful about losing you. The same goes for women too.'
Cheyenne didn't think she was inferior compared to Emily. Although Emily wore fancier clothes than hers did; however, when it came to body shape, Emily was no match.
Omari listened intently as Cheyenne made these promises; his heart pained at the thought, wishing secretly inside himself if only he could switch places with Master Iker instead...
'If only Cheyenne treated me this way too...'
